This study investigates the effect of ethnicity on the learners’ writing development in terms of accuracy, fluency, and complexity and explore how ethnicity plays a role as an intervening variable. 89 Korean and Chinese students participated in this study, and 267 writing samples were analyzed via NVivo 12, SPSS, and Lu’s (2010) syntactic analyzer. The results of the study indicate that Korean students outperformed Chinese students in short and long term period when accuracy and fluency are concerned. Syntactically speaking, mean length of sentences, clause per sentence, complex t-unit, dependent clause per clause, dependent clause per t-unit, coordinate phrases per t-unit, and verb phrases worked as discriminators in differentiating Korean and Chinese learners’ syntactic development in a semester-based instruction. Contrary to the results of accuracy and complexity, in terms of syntactic ability, Korean learners outperformed Chinese students in mean length of sentences and verb phrases. However, Chinese students show superiority in other five areas of syntactic complexity. These contradicting results between accuracy and fluency on one side, and complexity on the other one is somewhat confusing. To provide one of the explanations as to why this happened in the local context, the researcher pointed out the critical role of mother tongue between Korean and Chinese students. Caution is needed to accept this explanation based on a single study which calls for future studies. Although the applicability of this study is galore, the researcher narrowed down to monitoring role of syntactic analyzer for both teachers and students’ syntactic development in the mode of writing. In addition, suggestions to adopt Lu’s (2010) syntactic analyzer to our field is addressed.
